Through mountains and valleys from Lomprez

With sections in the countryside offering magnificent panoramic views of the Famenne and Calestienne regions and beautiful forest sections alternating between deciduous and coniferous trees, this long circular walk is one of the 2025 proposals from the Wellin Tourist Office. It is part of a series comprising a large circular 50 km and four other smaller circular ones, including this one.
It is worth noting that the circular route passes through Sohier, one of the most beautiful villages in Wallonia, with its pretty stone houses: don't miss the old village hall/school, the church and the castle.

Description of the walk

The title of the walk, 'Par Monts et par Vaulx', is not a spelling mistake but is the brainchild of the Wellin Tourist Office and a local nod to the place known as Fond des Vaulx.

Notes

Picnic table at the back of the former town hall/school in Sohier.
For a little extra off the beaten track, visit the old Lomprez mill, located just a hundred metres from the starting point.
As for the ease of following the route, those who don't like to be weighed down by a map or their smartphone need only follow the excellent blue rectangle markings numbered 3. Foolproof!
